Tips and predictions for the Cardinals at the Brewers

forecast

Brewers 5, Cardinals 3

Money line

HAPPEN.

The Brewers (-166) will win the opening game of this series in Milwaukee, but I would rather bet on the run line.

Running Line/Against the Spread

Bet Brewers -1.5 (+130).

Milwaukee is starting a 6-game home series and has been pretty solid at American Family Field this season (40-25). Milwaukee has been on a roll lately, winning 5 of their last 6 games. Also, Peralta has been outstanding with a 2-0 record in his last 3 starts, allowing just 1 earned run in 17 innings. Although the Cardinals are playing well, the Brewers have had the upper hand, going 7-3 against St. Louis this year, so taking the Brewers -1.5 seems like a smart move!

Over/Under

HAPPEN.

The market isn’t expecting many runs at this low total, and I agree, but I’m not confident enough to recommend this bet. I don’t like the trends in either direction.

These teams are 5-5 O/U in their last 10 meetings. The Cardinals are 5-5 O/U in their last 10 games while the Brewers are 6-3-1 O/U in their last 10 games.
